An Indian Crew.

One little incident will serve to show how rapidly the aborigine of the north west is forsaking the ways of his fore fathers and taking to the customs and habits of the white man. A month or two ago, while the steamer Rosebud was climbing up the Missouri bound for Ben ton, the crew got to growing among them selves and struck for higher wages. Upon reaching Fort Berthold (the agency of the Mandan and Gros Ventre Indians) the white laborers came out openly, refused to work, and abandoned the boat Capt. Todd, master of the steamer, stepped ashore and interviewed some of the red skins, and in ten minutes he had booked the following crew: Little Sioux, Spotted Wolf, Gray Head, Sheepish, Charles Brewer, Crazy Horse, White Calf, Two Bulls, Stink Face, Eddie Hill Bull Head, Red Fox. Young Hawk and Blue Stone. With this novel outfit the boat proceeded on to Benton with perfect success, having left the white strikers standing dismayed on the bank and boiling with rage to foot it back to civilization the best way they could Capt. Todd had to throw off his coat and instruct the aborigines in the ways of the stevedore, handling barrels, tying ropes, moving wheat and other things, but after the first lesson he never had more willing crew, and he did not want a better. The boat arrived at Ben ton on time, the Gros Ventres and Man dans having covered themselves with bacon grease, four, dirt, and glory. The only little drawback was the redskins would stop in the middle of job to smoke the pipe of peace with the white men, and also to find out just when they were going to get paid.--Chicago Times.

Trouble with Cats and Dogs.

lHenry Bergh ln lnterv1ew.]
 We have great deal of trouble with cats and dogs, especially at this season. People going out of the city for a few weeks lock their cats in the houses, leav- ing them no food or water. They think the cats can catch enough rats, and they naturally want the rats weeded ont by their return. In a few days the cats be- gin caterwauling, and the neighbors come to us with complaints. We get the key of the house from the agent and liberate the imprisoned felines.
 The other day one attempted to get out of tenement-house while the family had gone to Coney island to give the cat a chance to clean the house of rats The cat jumped twenty-five feet on the roof of another house, and then rolled down into the gutter and was caught. Eleven days afterward the cat was acci- dentally seen, and a report was made to this office. We spliced two ladders, sent man up to rescue the cat, after it had lived eleven days without eating. Dogs are also locked up by families going out of the city for few days The dog naturally feels lonesome and begins to howl, and the annoyed neighborS come to us. It seems that people will never learn the folly of locking up dogs and cats during their absence. It is not only cruelty to animals, but to the neigh. borhood, concluded the pioneer human itarian

The Dirty Danube.
Bulgarian Cor. Kansas City Joul

Bulgarian Cor. Kansas City Journal.l
 Like the GAnges, the Yangtse, the Trrawaddy, the Salween, the Hooghly, the Nile, the Jordan and nearly all the really great or famous rivers of the effete old world, the Danube Is an un- utterably muddy river. The current is very swift. Were it not for this fact, presume a stick might be made to stand upright in this yellowish ooze which the people call water And the people drink this same water. Those who can afford it have it filtered; the rest take it in a crude state. BulNria is deplorably weak in the matter of a water supply The Danube is the only stream that you cannot step across, and that is at the northern frontier of the country. The same deficiency is, however, source of gain to large number of people, as you will admit at any time when you step down to the river bank and watch the water carts that are being filled with the filthy liquid.
 The Danube is about mile wide here, 1 should judge. Steamers ply all the way from Galatz, near the mouth, tc Linz, away north of Vienna. There are places where transfers have to be made to lighter steamers in times of drouth The steamers are necessarily all built on the side-wheel, shallow-draught princi pie, and some of them are certai inly handsome crafts.

The Gypsy's Love of Home.

Gypsies universally revere the marriage and home relation. What other people do? I say universally, and use that word unqualifiedly. There is not an excep- tion. The home, under dingy roof or beneath the stars, is the dream, the type. the realization of all attainable good. 1 do not defend them in their religious in- fidelity; but the religious faculty as we know it, develop it, distort it, is so lack ing in them that another seems to have taken its place. That is home worship. Without ambition to rule and rend and remodel the world, their whole mental and heart power concentrates upon and about their own. Every earthly effort of the gypsy man, as of every decent man, is for the home, the concrete shrine within his simple holding. The gypsy wife, not being civilized into social harridan; not being developed into a literary, art or church gadabout; not being cultured into a female devil fish, reaching her greedy tentacles to every outlying slime and then devouring her own home for self and social distortion, has whole body and soul and devotion for those who call her wife and mother. And so this gypsy family that you scorn and my old poet friend calls ''rascals, :" form an all sufficient, invincible love force that the combined assaults of ill fortune can never shock or endanger. That is surely one thing worth remenl- bering about the gypsies. Yet all this is true without law. And it even begins back of the sucking of the babe at the gypsy's mothers breast. It is bred and inbred in prenatal assimilated loyalty
 Then as the children come along with the years they absolutely know nothing else or different, save about the Gorgios or non-gypsies, among whom they see all that should be avoided and of whom we know a few things that should be changed. Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.

Baden-saden's Baths.


 Close to the new castle stands tho Friedricksbad, the most splendid and largest bathing house in the world, so am told. It is three stories high, rising up against the southern slope of the Schlossberg in the form of terraces, and backs directly against the hot springs which give vapor for the Russian and heat for the Turkish baths. In some of the rooms the bathing tubs are hewn out of the solid marble. They have steps leading down to them, and each is pro- vided with apparatus for shower or a jet douche Some of the tubs have fine sand or mud at the bottom; they say it is good for rheumaticks. In each room there is comfortable couch where you may read and nap after your bath as long as you like.
 Up stairs, on the second floor, had some sport in large circular swimming bath, four feet deep and twenty eight feet in diameter It is wholly con- tructed of marble and provided with steps around it's circumference. This magnificent bath house is 200 feet long it cost over $400, GOO, and unlike in most establishments of the sort, the accom- mediation for the women is precisely tht same as for our sturdy selves. 1 must be permitted to add that the house be- longs to the city and state, and that no fewer than fifteen physicians of Baden are ready daily to give visitors advice as to the proper kinds of baths to take.

BIO CITY CEMETERIES.
The Memory of the Dead--Ezealth of
 the ivIng-Cremation.


 the Living -Crematiou.
 Joseph Howard in Boston Herald.
 New York at one time was perfeet nursery of graveyards, and we have now in the city limits a score of little ceme- teries, where hundreds and thousands of decaying bodies remain. There are two things to be considered, respect for the memory of the dead, and care for the health of the living. 1 was looking in St. Paul's churchyard few days ago, plot of ground worth millions of dollars, opposite the building of The New York Herald, and 1 saw a large number of grave stones piled one above the other. Nobody knows where they belong, and nobody cares. It is against the law for anybody to be buried within the limits of the city of New York, and fine of $500 is put upon the person who breaks the law; nevertheless there are hundreds of persons who intend to be buried within the limits of the city of New York, in Trinity churchyard, in St. Pauls church yard, or in St. Marks churchRrd. To be sure they are members of our ''rich, old families.
 Some years ago this law was passed, and since then cemeteries have been built up adjacent to the city, but al ready the growth of the metropolis, and its neighboring cities has been such that even these have been envelOped and are part and parcel of the living economy of the time Calvary cemetery, 1 saw in some paper few days ago, has over half million dead bodies under its soil, | and some of its coffins are 80 near the surface that one can easily punch them | with the ferrule of his cane. Green 1 wood cemetery, one of the most charm | ing spots on the face of the earth. is l the home of hundreds of thousands of | dead and is most embarrassing block in the highway of travel, traversing, as it does, six or eight of the chief ave nues of Brooklyn. Already the vandal l hand of politics has reached out to take 1 hold of it; already schemes are plotting to drive these avenues straight througt the cemetery.
 As to preserving the ashes from desc cration, 1 concede that there Is degret of sentiment about that which is wortf 1 considering; but, after all, how many men or women who read these lines car tell where what is left of their grea grandfathers, or even their grand fathers, is buried to- day, and who of u is there who cares much about then anyhow The fact of the business i that after we get beyond the second | generation, the horizon of honest, un affected affection is very limited. Blu grant that man desires to preserve tn ashes of the generations, it seems to m that very proper way would be to hav public depository in which, for trifing sum, we could place the urn containing the ashes of our friends, ant leave them there for all time to come.

peruvjan .ybist,,nc Jupn

Tulane museum, New Orleans, pos sesses Peruvian ''whistling jug" which dates from the Incas. It resembles two squatty, fattened bottles connected by a bar between the necks and below by a pipe one inch and half in diameter. One ends above with an open brandy bottle mouth and the other in the form of a gro.esque human head. The only hole in the latter is a small orifice at the back of the head. On pouring water into the open mouth till both jugs are filled above the level of the connecting tube the air remaining in the closed side is forced out at the Small ori1ce, and, striking the thin pla,c between the two openings, produces clear, shriH whistle. By tipping the half filled vessel in various directions various sounds are emitted some of the most startling, weird char acter.-Chicago News.

FIRE IN TEE FOREST.
A Grand Sight-she-Rear and Cubs--
 Rntt!esnake Den.


 [Cor New Yeriz Tribunal
 Black mountain, as if to add to the pleasure of the guests on Lake George, has been presenting sight that, for grandeur and magnifcence, excels any thing in the way of pyrotechnics ever ex- hibited at Saratoga or the seashore. The mountain rises 2, 400 feet above the lake Across the spur called the Elephant, the forests have been on fire the past week Broad sheets of flame spread over the mountain slopes, as if some fair levia- than was waving her red silk handker- chief to attract the attention of lover The mountain is overrun with various tribes of small game, animals, birds, and, in certain places, snakes. The fire has spread across hundreds of acres, and has created perfect pandemonium among them. Startled creatures i'll the air with their cries of peril. They moan and vail as if turned from an old home stead by the cruel clements without a dollar of insurance on their furniture. Larger birds, like hawks and crows, soar above the seething mass of burning pine and oak. while the night air is filled with dismal hootings of huge owls. Occasional roars of bears join the chorus. furnishing a sepulchral bass to the grand aggregation of discordant elements.
 While some men were engaged in combating the fire, they discovered a huge she-bear trying to stamp out a large burning log with her paws. Two cubs followed the exasperated animal, and as the mother madly beat the hot embers with her shaggy paws the young ones whined like whipped children. The heat was too much for the creature, and with blood streaming from her lacerated and baked feet she beat retreat. The men pursued her, but gathering hel children, 'even as hen gathereth hel chickens" the sagacious beast soon put a stretch of fire between herself and the pursuers. Her victory was but tran sient, for moment later huge tree burned of at the roots, fell with z crash, knocking her over prccipice tC the roc'-s, 400 feet below The miser, of the orphaned cubs was heartrending and their cries of agony filled the ail for a moment, and then both wen tumbling after their mother-and be came little bear angels.
 Rattlesnake den is situated on tn north end of Black mountain. Whel the flames reached that portion of tn mountain a stream of rattlesnakeS ant blacksnakes emerged from a chasm shouldered their tails, and beat hast. retreat for safer quarters. The hideou reptiles fairly covered the ground witt their green and black sinuous forms.

The Red Nose ef Insanity.
Atlanta C3nstitution.l

LAuanta Constitution.
 The testimony of Dr. Hamilton in the famous Rhinelander case to the effect that a red nose is an indication of in- sanity has carried terror and consterna- tion to thousands of homes all over the land Heretofore the gentleman with a Bardolphian nose has been regarded as one of bibulous proclivities, but all this Is changed. The effect will be disas- trous. The trusting wife who has looked upon the bulbous probosis of her hus- hand as the unerring register of the number of cocktails and brandy smashes swallowed during the day, will now view it as the lurid headlight of lunatic. Dr. Hamilton says that the red nose of insanity differs from that of alcoholism. It is a brighter red, and is accompanied by livid hands, a defective circulation, and weak heart action. Ophelia prob ably had red nose, and many female lunatic with lily-like complexion has a nose that would shame an old toper. The fact that many politicians are disfgured in this way is not against the doctor theory, but supports it. In addition to insanity and alcoholism, it may be re- marked that tea drinking and dyspepsia produce red noses. In order to effect a cure the digestion must be looked after.

Seeing Westminster After Many Years.
Democratic Advocate,


Col. Lytler, secretary of the Chicago Produce
Exchange, came up to Westminster last Sunday.
When boy, fifty years ago, he spent some time
in Westminster, and went to school to Mr. Chas.
w. Webster. He had not been to Westminster
since, and having been sent copy of the Semi
Centennial edition of the Advocate, and having
read description of the growth of the town, and
seeing cuts of some of the prominent buildings, he
became anxious to revisit the place. Being in
Baltimore on business he determined to come up
to Westminster, though pressed to spend the day
there. He sauntered along, and finally stopped
in front of dwelling and asked q lady standing
in the. door if she knew of any gentlemen living
here now who were here fifty years ago. The lady
was Mrs. VIM. P. Maulsby, and she informed him
that COL Mausby was here at that time, and in
vited him in. When Col. Maulsby came in, Col.
Lytler introduced himself, and they had pleas
ant chat over old times and old scenes. The two
then went over to call upon Col. Longwell, and
there old times were again brought to memory and
discussed and almost forgotten incidents were
called and related. The Westminster of to-day
bears no resemblance to the town of fifty years ago.
and there were but few places that Col. Lytler
could recognize. He had very distinct recollec-
tion of the old town, of the buildings and where
they stood, but the number now standing is very
small. Col. Lytler is gentleman of sixty-tw to
sixty-fv years of age, and an entertaining con-
versationalist. Since he lived here he has grown
to manhood, has large family of children, and is
prospecting. During the late war he served in the
Federal army, and lost arm at the battle of
Shiloh.

which the Baltimore and Ohio has persisted in
using years after there was VIGOROUSLY q better
one in almost universal use. Recently, frightened
by the Republic and other accidents, they have
contracted to put the Westinghouse automatic on
all its passenger stock, and it would seem as if it
should have been in on this important train,
but the change has probably proceeded slowly; it
is q way changes have on the Baltimore and Ohio.

Ng- The Philadelphia Times, under the head
of "What is Politician ?" says "the term poll
tician' will become title prospect whenever good
citizens of all parties choose to make it so and
just as long as they allow professional spolsmen to
make states and divide the Offices and emoluments,
just SO long will politics and politicians lack pop
uar respect. It is not the fault of the professional
politicians that they rule by arbitrary and often
dishonest methods. On the contrary, it is the
fault of the tens of thousands of intelligent and
upright citizens who allow a corporal's guard of
mere spoils- hunters to control party machiney and
dictate the political actions of the multitude
Whenever business men appreciate their political
duties and manfully perform them, the title of
politician" will cease to be term of reproach,
and honest, business administration will be en-
forced in both local and general governments"
